Preliminary proportioning:

Provide a base thickness of 420mm for base slab.

For economical proportioning of length „L‟, assume vertical reaction R at the footing base to
be in line with front face of the stem.

Preliminary proportions are shown in figure.
For the assumed proportions, the retaining wall is checked for stability against overturning
and sliding.
Pa = Active pressure exerted by retained earth on wall [both wall and earth move in same
direction]
Pp = Passive pressure exerted by wall on retained earth [both move in opposite direction]
Ca -> same for dry and submerged condition, since ф for granular soil does not change

Design an underground water tank of size 12m x 5m with height 4m. The density of soil is
16kN/m3 and coefficient of friction between soil and concrete is 0.15. The soil is saturated.
Here, L / B = 12 / 5 = 2.4 > 2
The tank walls are checked for two critical conditions,
i) No earth pressure with pressure from water inside, p = γw(H – h)

ii) Earth pressure exerted on wall under tank empty condition, p =H/3.(γ-γw)+γwH

YIELD LINE THEORY
Yield lines – Typical crack patterns – generated when ultimate moment is reached
Characteristics of yield lines are,
i) Yield lines are straight
ii) Yield lines end at supporting edges of slab
iii) Yield lines passes through intersection of axis of rotation of adjacent slab elements
iv) Axis of rotation lies along lines of supports and passes over columns
Assumptions:
The following are the assumptions of the yield line analysis of reinforced concrete slabs.
1. The steel reinforcement is fully yielded along the yield lines at collapse. Rotation
following yield is at constant moment.
2. The slab deforms plastically at collapse and is separated into segments by the yield
lines. The individual segments of the slab behave elastically.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
45
CE701 – Design of Reinforced Concrete & Brick Masonry Structures
3. The elastic deformations are neglected and plastic deformations are only considered.
The entire deformations, therefore, take place only along the yield lines. The individual
segments of the slab remain plane even in the collapse condition.
4. The bending and twisting moments are uniformly distributed along the yield lines. The
maximum values of the moments depend on the capacities of the section based on the
amount of reinforcement provided in the section.
5. The yield lines are straight lines as they are the lines of intersection between two planes.

CE701 – Design of Reinforced Concrete & Brick Masonry Structures
The statements of the two theorems applied to slabs are given below:
(A) Lower bound theorem: The lower bound of the true collapse load is that external load
for which a distribution of moments can be found satisfying the requirements of equilibrium
and boundary conditions so that the moments at any location do not exceed the yield
moment.
(B) Upper bound theorem: The upper bound of the true collapse load is that external load
for which the internal work done by the slab for a small increment of displacement,
assuming that moment at every plastic hinge is equal to the yield moment and satisfying the
boundary conditions, is equal to the external work done by that external load for the same
amount of small increment of displacement.
Thus, the collapse load satisfying the lower bound theorem is always lower than or equal to
the true collapse load. On the other hand, the collapse load satisfying the upper bound
theorem is always higher than or equal to the true collapse load.
The yield line analysis is an upper bound method in which the predicted failure load of a
slab for given moment of resistance (capacity) may be higher than the true value. Thus, the
solution of the upper bound method (yield line analysis) may result into unsafe design if the
lowest mechanism could not be chosen. However, it has been observed that the prediction
of the most probable true mechanism in slab is not difficult. Thus, the solution is safe and
adequate in most of the cases. However, it is always desirable to employ a lower bound
method, which is totally safe from the design point of view.

landing slab and going similar to a waist like slab. The loading on folded slab includes,
i) self weight of tread riser slab

Note:
For staircase spanning longitudinally where the landing is supported along the transverse
direction only. While finding the effective length along the longitudinal direction only half the
length of the landing slab is considered. There is no change in the loading of going slab.
But the loading on landing slab is half (waist type and tread-riser type). The landing slab is
designed separately for the full load on landing plus half the loading from going slab.
1) Design a dog legged staircase having a tread-riser slab for an office building for the

Brick
(Comp. strength 3.5 to 40 N/mm2)
Used for,
1. External and internal bearing walls
2. Load bearing piers and columns
3. Paritition walls
4. Brick masonry foundations
5. Floorings and Pavings
The average compressive strength of brick unit as per IS3495 (Part I) – 1976 is,
3.5 - 40N/mm2.

CE701 – Design of Reinforced Concrete & Brick Masonry Structures
Tests on bricks:
1. Water absorption: Brick units immersed in water for 24 hours has,
i) upto 12.5 N/mm2 strength and water absorption should not be greater than 20%
ii) for higher classes, water absorption should not be greater than 15%
2. Efflorescence: Leaching of water soluble salts (white coloured) under efflorescence.
Test for efflorescence is done as per IS3495 (Part III) – 1976. The brick is kept in a
dish with water height as 25mm and the time for water absorption and evaporation is noted.
This value is compared with the same dish with 25mm water height kept for evaporation
alone. Based on the code, efflorescence in brick is reported as nil, slight, moderate, heavy
and serious.
3. Hardness: For the brick to be hard, it should create no impression by finger nail.
4. Soundness: When two bricks are struck, it should not break and produce a clear
ringing sound.
5. Compressive test: 3.5 – 40 N/mm2
6. Flexure test: Rarely done
Design procedure:
Slenderness (Least of le/t & he/t) : (λmax = 27)
(λ = 60 for RC columns, λ = 45 & 30 for braced and unbraced RC walls)
1. Actual stress on the brick masonry wall is found based on the load from slab and self
weight of wall.
2. The permissible compressive stress for masonry based on the type of mortar and
compressive strength of brick unit is taken from Table 8, IS1905-1987. This table is valid
for slenderness ratio λ ≤ 6 and eccentricity e = 0.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
93
CE701 – Design of Reinforced Concrete & Brick Masonry Structures
3. Corrections are applied for slenderness ratio, eccentricity (if any), shape and size of brick
unit. Shape modification factor and cross sectional area of masonry (area reduction factor).
4. Slenderness ratio is found as the least of le/t or he/t, where, (le = Effective length and he =
effective height).
Effective length is found from Table 5, IS1905 – 1987 and effective height is found from
Table 4, IS1905-1987.
The permissible value of λ is 27 (λmax) for cement mortar (OPC & PPC), given in Table 7,
IS1905-1987.
5. Eccentricity of loading is determined (for axial loading e = 0). Eccentricities for various
other cases are to be checked as per Appendix B of IS1905-1987.
6. For the permissible stress adopted, shape modification factor is found based on height to
width ratio of each brick unit given in Table 10, IS1905-1987.
7. Area reduction factor is applied for elements having cross section less than 0.2m 2. The
area modification factor, k = 0.7 + 1.5 A
8. After applying modification factors, the actual stress is verified with a modified
permissible stress, σact < σper
The permissible stress (strength of the wall) depends upon the following factors:
i) Compressive strength of masonry unit
ii) Compressive strength of mortar used
iii) Slenderness ratio of the wall
iv) Eccentricity in loading
v) Shape and size of brick unit
vi) Cross sectional area of masonry

1) Design a solid wall of a mill building 3m height securely tied with roof and floor units.
The wall supports two beams on either side exerting reactions of 30kN and 20kN.
Thickness of wall is 230mm and the beam bears on the wall for 115mm (width of beam).

The wall is safe in carrying a concentrated load with H1 mortar and brick of compressive
strength 15N/mm2.
2) Design the exterior wall of a workshop building 3.6m height carrying steel trusses at
4.5m spacing. The wall is securely tied at roof and floor levels. The wall is of thickness
